Inspired by the Pony Demand Mod for Victoria 2.

In a world where a nation of sapient, logical horses hold sway in the Nineteenth Century, the stage of world politics is...different.

On the West Coast of North America, in a land known as "California" to the humans, Equestria lies. It is a peaceful land, untouched by the ideals of liberalism, war, etc. That peaceful ignorance, however, will not last for long...

NOTE: Ignore the official map of Equestria. Instead, use these:
NA in 1836: clicky
Equestria: clicky
Griffonia: clicky
Rated Teen for occasional language, and epic battles between modernized ponies and humans.

Holy Shit! Featured: 2/21/16!!!! Thank you so much!

After a confusing encounter with Q, the Enterprise-D and her crew find themselves thousands of light-years from Federation. When they are forced to make contact with a very strange civilization of ponies, they think only of peace. Unfortunately, their arrival destabilizes a tense political situation.

Everypony hates war. This is clear. Everypony strives to avoid it, and for the past thousand years, peace has reigned at Equestria, thanks to a clever combination of diplomacy and the threat of military action. But now, a new threat surfaces, a threat everypony though was impossible. A rift is forming, and civil war is brewing.

I'm going to assume you, the reader, have seen the show to the end of season 4. If you haven't, then SPOILERS!!! Also, I will assume that you know about the mane six, so I won't describe them in any real detail.

We have a tvtropes page! It desperately needs some love: clicky

A story in which a young Princess and her lover, a young, brave Pegasus named Rainbow Dash, face prejudice and hatred. It gets worse, though. Ponies are arguing and fighting, and the very nation of Equestria faces a rift in its society.

Lines are drawn- and crossed- and emotions run high as Equestria teeters on the brink of civil war for the first time since the Three Tribes Period. To make problems even worse, Celestia and Luna pick sides, and things get even more complicated.

A story based off of the cold, harsh realities of real life. (Occurs several years after Season Three, but ignores Equestria Girls and Season Four). Twidash fan fiction (obviously).

Twilight Sparkle decides to try a new spell she found in Star Swirl the Bearded's lost diary. When she opens an inter-dimensional portal to Middle Earth, things get out of hoof. Soon, Sauron's minions are running free on Equestria, and it comes down to the Mane Six and the Fellowship to stop them!

This story is back, and with a vengeance! After pulling it off Fimfiction, I have decided to resubmit it. This story will continue as is, but I will also work on another MLP LOTR crossover. That one will be - what's the technical term? - better, than this one. I acknowledge that is story has awful pacing and sloppy characterization. I will try to make that better over time, but anything is possible :). Right now, I am writing this one because it amuses me. If you love it, awesome. If not, well, I'm not forcing you to read it. Thank you for looking at the trash bin of my creative spirit.
